Port of Rotterdam handled 14.8m teu in 2019

The Port of Rotterdam’s container throughput increased 2.1% year-on-year to 14.8m teu in 2019, having experienced negligible container transport growth during the second six months of the year.

Thanks to a good start to the first six months of the year, the Port of Rotterdam matched the transhipment volume recorded in 2018.

However economic growth in the EU declined somewhat, particularly as a consequence of reduced industrial production in Germany.
